Description meefoo54 2013-10-16 14:31:47 UTC

Problem description: 
.doc .docx email attachments will not open when double-clicked. The following error message appears
 14.10.13.-4.docx could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

All associations are correctly set.
re-installing the help pack did not solve the problem.

.doc etc attachments need to be saved in .odt format before they can be opened.

Version: 4.0.5.2 release
Last worked in: 4.0.3.3 release
